Patent number: 10116927Abstract: A method for reproducing image information on an autostereoscopic screen including a pixel matrix and an optical grid, in which a period length defined by a lateral offset of adjacent strip-shaped structures of the optical grid is greater by a certain factor than a lateral offset of directly adjacent columns of the pixel matrix. The method including the steps of assigning an angle value and a location coordinate value to each of the specified columns, for each of the columns, calculating an extract of an image by image synthesis, wherein this image is a parallel projection of a 3D scene to be reproduced having a projection direction corresponding to the angle value assigned to the respective column, and controlling the pixels of the pixel matrix in such a way that each of the columns has written into it the extract calculated for this column.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2013Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: René de la Barré, Silvio Jurk

Patent number: 9992484Abstract: A method for reproducing image information on an autostereoscopic screen that has a pixel matrix and an optical grid, wherein pixels are arranged to form rows arranged equidistantly next to one another, and the optical grid has strip-like structures parallel to the rows and arranged equidistantly next to one another. The method includes association of first and second coordinate values with each row, wherein the first coordinate value indicates a location on an axis that is oriented horizontally at the viewing interval in front of the screen and on which the propagation plane of the light exiting the row intersects the axis, and the second coordinate value indicates a position of the respective row or the strip-like structure, through which the light passes, in the lateral direction. For each row, an excerpt from an image is calculated by image synthesis, with the pixels being driven accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2013Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: René de la Barré, Silvio Jurk

Patent number: 9883171Abstract: An autostereoscopic screen for the simultaneous reproduction of more than two different pictures, including a pixel matrix with a multitude of pixels, an optical element arranged on front of or behind the pixel matrix, and a control unit for activating the pixel matrix and the optical element. The optical element forms an optical grid with a family of strip-like structures which run next to one another, wherein a period length of the optical grid is changeable by way of activating the optical element. Thereby, for a change of a viewing distance (Ln, L; L?) the control unit is configured to increase or reduce the period length and to simultaneously change a distribution of picture information onto the pixel matrix. The disclosure further relates to a corresponding method for the simultaneous reproduction of more than two different pictures.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2012Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: René de la Barré, Silvio Jurk
